Jointly presented by Opera Hong Kong and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Musical Gala Concert on May 9, 2009 will certainly be remembered by the audience as one that’s delightful, full of familiar and yet beautiful music that one would just love to listen to again and again.

The progrmme will include "I feel pretty" from West Side Story, "I could have danced all night" from My Fair Lady, "Think of me" from Phantom of the Opera, “I dreamed a dream” from Les miserables, and of course some French musicals, e.g. “Lune” from Notre Dame de Paris by Richard Cocciante and “J'ai peur” from Roméo et Juliette by Gérard Presgurvic, “L'air du Brésilien”from La Vie Parisienne by Offenbach, “Je vois marcher sous ma banniere” from Fra Diavolo by Auber and many more all time favorites.

The artists featured in the concert include Rachele Gilmore, a soprano and a winner in Placido Domingo’s prestigious Operalia World Opera Contest and in many other competitions; Sarah Joy Kabanuck, also a soprano, currently signed to Decca Records, has joined forces with some of the world’s top music producers and songwriters, and worked with Walter Afanasieff and Desmond Child; Deborah Domanski, a mezzo-soprano, has the ability to bring an extraordinary combination of scintillating musicality and captivating stage-presence to all her roles; Chad Johnson, hailed as a "tenor of distinction" by the Coral Gables Gazette, is quickly making a name for himself in the world of opera; Dominique Moralez, one of today's most sought-after young tenors, Paris' Le Figaro lauded his "convincing musicality" and Germany's Oberbayerisches Volksblatt noted his "shimmering clear voice with power and sweetness…”; John Hancock, a baritone, acclaimed for his refined vocalism and theatrical versatility, has created leading roles in several world premieres.

As you know Joy was here for the Le French May fest, performing for 3 days which 8th and 10th May were the Opera Gala and 9th the Musical.

I went to both Opera Gala and Musical Gala (8th and 9th), and the Opera one is obviously better than the Musical one... probably because they're all opera singers. They basically didn't have time to take a good look at Hong Kong, they landed, had a couple of brief rehearsals then Joy said they're terribly jetlag and they flew back to NYC the day after, "to figure out more jetlags", as she said when I talked to her at the backstage. LOL

It was two nice shows. The opera was really nice to a beginner like me... I was trying to determine if I like opera or not, since I'm a musical fanatic. Joy sang a few songs from La Boheme and she was Mimi! LOL The musical was not as good... but still pleasant. Joy only sang 2 songs in this show, not much of her there. and OH! Her two dresses were fabulous! Photography is strictly prohibited so I couldn't get pics of them, sorry mellow.gif

She's quite nice, a bit taken aback that someone's there for her at the backstage, then when we told her we are divo fans she kinda rolled her eyes jokingly and said she'd smell il divo fans anywhere Got a couple of autographs and I told her I'm giving them away to some of her fans and she was happy about it.

I did a bootleg of the musical gala, I'll upload should anyone feel interested.

meanwhile here are some pictures.

Thanks Wilma for the great pictures and thanks Raquel for posting them. :cheer:

Thanks for your report!
